Dream Car!!

So this weekend was insaaaane! David and I have been looking for a car for nearly 6 months. We just sold David's Jeep Cherokee last month (finally). I don't think I've told you all that story which is pretty funny. Trying to sell a 1990 Jeep Cherokee with over 200,000 miles on it is not an easy task. Plus people around here aren't really into off roading vehicles as much as back home. So we had it on Ebay, Auto trader, newspaper you name it...no sale. So one day we got a call from a lady from ARKANSAS who wanted to buy it! She said she already bought it on Ebay and would wire the money to us immediately. Then she said she had a truck in the area that would pick it up the next day. So after trying so long to sell it we sold it in 2 days!! Miracle truely.
Ok, back to the present. David and I have both wanted a 2005-2007 Subaru Outback Sport Impreza since we've been dating. And we've been shopping for one for 6 months. There's something about the 2007's headlights and slope of the hatch back that we wanted. But in Florida there aren't many Subaru's available, especially used. Not many people value All Wheel Drive here as much as other places that actually use it. So we've been shopping and shopping, finding 2009's- waaay too expensive, 2005's that are stick...but we then find one two hours away that is EXACTLY what we want!!! So we're so excited but we work opposite schedules so we have to wait to go shopping together. We happen to go this weekend because I have the weekend off to go to a Coldplay concert in Ft Lauderdale (that's a different story!). So we go to the dealership and find our EXACT car that we want, its also green! So after a butt load of paperwork we get our dream car!! We feel so enormously blessed! With the sell of the Jeep we were able to put money down and lower our monthly payment! So I can say that with patience and waiting, we were able to get the car we wanted, at the price we wanted!!! Here's what it looks like:
